Wow
So. . . last night I went to the BEST show of my life. Easily tops all of them. Would you like to know why? This is why:
Top bands of the night(ascending order)
Explosions in the Sky/The Wrens- A tie, as they are both one of my favorite bands of all time, and they both rocked and post-rocked (hehe) like no other. My only complaint is that they both could have played for 2 more hours and I would have been happy. They were everything I had hoped though in their one-hour slots.
Deerhoof- Alright, first time I saw these guys with Radiohead I had kind of the same feeling, that of extreme joy, but this time that joy became super duper extreme JOY. They are such an amazing band, all are absolute tempo geniuses (geniusi?), and their music is too happy and cute for words. The little asian singer/bassist was absolutely adorable this time, and when she would rock out it was like looking at a movie in fastforward.
Then I saw Xiu Xiu and Showbread also. Both were rad. This show was amazing. The band I am listening to now, Asobi Seksu, was very excellent live too, very shoegazy, a lot of influence from My Bloody Valentine. Really good.
